I love Matthew 19:22. Right before JC said this, a rich kid “went away sad,” then he turns to his disciples and delivers the camel line.

There is a whole book of these references.

Oooo aren't you all cool and edgy

Thanks for the motivation to look this up. Amazing how someone told me about the small fortification entrance several years ago, but it was never true.

Unfortunately it shares a book with the Pulp Fiction one. But it's a favourite for sure.

For the uninitiated:

"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."

Hamburgers. The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast.

Also can we have it adjusted for inflation?

I predict that the 2020s circle will be bigger than the 90s by mid-2024 at the latest, but will ultimately end up smaller than either the 00s or 10s.

What does Marsellus Wallace look like?

It’s not really fiction in the library sense. Fiction is designed to be read mostly for pleasure. The bible would most likely end up in a non fiction reference section on religion and/or myth.

Non-fiction generally doesn’t mean “scientifically true”. It’s more about why someone would read a book. Especially down the lower end of the Dewey scale you will find a lot of odd ducks.

This is exactly what has been happening.

Certainly not interested in hearing somebody wail about it.

Yeah not a good visualisation. Also why add 2020 ???

That's fair, but it still wouldn't make this a valid comparison for what the author appears to be trying to show.

If I wanted to compare the change in population over time for the purposes of studying demographic, and I was looking at the US and Canada, unsure if they included Puerto Rico as part of the US data...I can't just take the population of Toronto and New York and extrapolate implying it represents something for all of Canada versus all of the US.

Western Russia isn't defined enough. Rosstat might count territories other countries believe are still other countries. Imagine the Crimea.

I was like where is PornHub. “Without inappropriate sites.”

I'm not wondering why they don't split up Russia's far east. I'm wondering why they don't include Russia's population as a whole versus China's population as a whole.

Is Ecclesiastes no longer a book?

Siberia is huge, last I checked. Maybe Rosstat doesn't subdivide that part of Russia. The Chinese province picked would be close to Siberia, relatively.

Russia does not matter. Even with China’s growth slowing down, it will be higher than the US. China has significantly larger population.

Cite your sources. What evidence do you have for it being a reference to a gate? Or is that just something you heard someone say? Because here’s a pretty sound argument, including textual analysis of the three gospels who mention it as well as an archaeological reference search to debunk that: https://classictheology.org/2021/10/12/through-the-eye-of-an-actual-needle-the-fake-gate-theory/

Ah, yes. Pornhub 3:16.
